Interactive epistemology in dynamic games studies forms of strategic reasoning like backward and forward induction by means of a formal representation of players’ beliefs about each other, conditional on each history. Work on this topic typically relies on epistemic models where states of the world specify both strategies and beliefs. Strategies are conjunctions of behavioral conditionals of th...

We present a new adaptive connectionist planning method. By interaction with an environment a world model is progressively constructed using the backpropagation learning algorithm. The planner constructs a look-ahead plan by iteratively using this model to predict future reinforcements. Future reinforcement is maximized to derive suboptimal plans, thus determining good actions directly from the...

Information management in hospitals requires a strategic plan that gives directives for the construction and development of a hospital information system. The paper describes the purpose and a suggested structure for those strategic plans. This structure is a central component for a guideline that may be used for creating and updating strategic plans.
